Ellen DeGeneres announces she is 'done' with public life during comedy tour

WASHINGTON (TND) — Previous talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres recently told audience members she is "done" with the public eye and ready to move on.

During an audience Q&A on her "Ellen's Last Stand...Up" tour one fan asked if she would return to movies after the tour ended.

Um, no," DeGeneres responded according to SFGate. "This is the last time you're going to see me. After my Netflix special, I'm done.

She recently canceled several dates on her tour and has been using the shows to address the misconduct accusations on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," according to Variety.

The talk show ended after a nearly 20-year run when a series of reports was released by BuzzFeed detailing allegations of racism, sexual misconduct and intimidation.

Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me," DeGeneres said at the Santa Rosa. "I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.

She went on to admit that she "can be demanding and impatient and tough" among many things "but I am not mean."

The comedian added it was the second time she had been kicked out of show business -- referencing her coming out as a lesbian in the 1990s.

"Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old. Old, gay and mean, the triple crown," she joked.

DeGeneres has tour dates scheduled through Aug. 17 with several sold-out shows.
